Good morning, John.
I have an important ask of you today. Yes you. And it's one I try to keep to a minimum, so I hope you can make it happen.
I am writing to ask you to make a contribution... not for me... but to the South Carolina Democratic Party. If me asking is all you need to hear, you can make that contribution here:

Otherwise, let me start with a question.
Can you agree that if Democrats are going to build the majorities it takes to pass significant legislation, it will require winning in states we haven't won in recently?
That's how I feel. And it's why I am on my way to South Carolina right now for events across the state -- all organized by the South Carolina Democratic Party.
This is a huge year for them. There's a U.S. Senate race, a race for Governor, and House races that could determine control of the chamber -- these are races that can be won.
Unfortunately, the state party is terribly underfunded. While most resources go to "swing states," the South Carolina Democratic Party only gets $22,500 per month from the DNC to fund their efforts.
It's not enough.
So they need our help. Not just me. Us.
When you watch the results of the next election, pay a little extra attention to South Carolina and know the donation you made today was responsible for the gains -- and hopefully victories -- they earn.
Thank you in advance for contributing. It means a lot to me.
Gavin
